On Saturday, we took advantage of the "Free Brevard County Residents Weekend" at the Kennedy Space Center. I was convinced that it was going to be crazy packed, especially since each Brevard resident could bring in up to 5 additional guests! What a steal right?! So although it opened at 9 am, I made sure everyone in our group was in the parking lot by 8 am so we could get in line early and be in FIRST. Well....as you can see below, we were.... ahem.... FIRST. I am not going to live this one down for a long, long time....
Just us and a big, empty parking lot. One hour to wait...
Sebastian didn't seem to mind as he walked around and asked to take pictures with all the signs leading into the parking lot.
First in line at the ticket booth! So much fun that Lelo, Rolando, Nana, Papa and the Frewin's were all able to join us!
Taking a look inside his first space capsule.
Daddy's ready to blast off!
Matteo wants to go too!
Sebastian kept going in and out and saying, "We're here! We landed on the moon!"
In and out some more. I guess this is why we got there so early so there wouldn't be too many people annoyed with his constant turns.
Matteo really wanted to walk holding Papa's hand. So cute.
Sebastian and Jackson exploring the moon together.
Oh the buses! I think they were as much of a hit as everything else. So much so that we actually bought him a miniature one in the gift shop to bring home to play with.
Space and buses. What more could a 3 year old ask for? Wait....pizza! (You'll see those pictures further down...)
Poor Matteo couldn't take it anymore...he passed out mid-tour. But here we are with the VAB.
With the Saturn IV Rocket.
With Lelo. Yay!
Space Shuttle.
This is at about 4 pm. Both kids were out....what a long day.
He never naps like this in his stroller...but he was exhausted! The IMAX movie just didn't keep his attention.
After a recharging nap, he went on to eat a serving of pasta and THREE slices of pizza. I don't know how he does it.
After pizza we went to the airport to see the plane my dad recently flew back to Florida from Ohio. Here Sebastian is running down the taxiway flying like an airplane.
It's like a chair on wings. CRAZY!!!!! (Okay, maybe a love seat, but just barely!!)
Flying....
Just Matteo's size, he loved it too.
Our future pilot boy.
With Lelo in his airplane.
Lots of brotherly love these days....well, except when Sebastian is practically choking Matteo or Matteo is holding onto Sebastian so tight and won't let go that they both fall to the floor. But it's cute for all of the first 3 seconds that no one is screaming yet!
My little guy is already talking and driving. Never mind that he is also in his underwear...
Matteo's first skinned knee. =(
Just relaxing at the playground.
Stealing each others snacks.
Really - he was having fun on the swings, but he was always making this scrunchy face. Too funny.
Blasting off!
They made themselves comfortable to watch the Gator game. Right ON the snack table.
With Uncle and Sarah.
When Matteo takes a nap, Mami and Sebastian try to do fun things we can't do easily with Matteo around. Like build really, really, really tall towers!
And practice using our scissors. I love the concentration mouth.
At girls night with my Orlando friends! So nice to see everyone - it was a great, kid-free night!
Getting into trouble....they had to pull out every single DVD and VHS in the drawer...at least they think cleaning them up is fun too!
